[PATCH 1/2] PCI: Add mechanism to find topologically near cores

[Daniel J Blueman]

Some devices (eg ixgbe) make assumptions about device to core locality when
specifying interrupts locality hints and allocate starting from core 0.
Moreover, interrupts may not be routable to distant NUMA nodes due to the
8-bit APIC ID space limitations.

Provide a mechanism drivers can use to find cores with reasonable locality
to a device; use the existing precendent of RECLAIM_DISTANCE (30), wrapping
the offset.
